    About Mango Juice

    Homemade Mango Juice is a refreshing drink made using just 2 ingredients – fresh or frozen mangoes and sugar.

    This sweet, tangy, and fruity tropical juice can be made using a blender, handheld blender, or a food processor in under 5 minutes. All you have to do is peel and chop the mangoes and blend them with sugar and water.

    Although mango juice is available in the market, homemade juice is much better than store-bought ones. It is free of any added sugar, artificial flavors, color, or preservatives. It is much more economical to make at home too.

    Homemade mango juice is vegan and gluten-free too.

    Serve mango fruit juice for breakfast, brunch, or evening snacks on hot summer days. This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled as per your need.

    Ingredients & Variations

    Mango juice ingredients.

    Mangoes – You can use fresh mangoes, frozen mangoes, or canned mango puree to make it, however, it tastes the best when made using fresh ripe juicy mangoes.

    If using fresh mangoes, make sure they are ripe and juicy. To check if the mangoes are ripe and sweet, press them gently with your finger. They should give back a little. Ripe mangoes also smell fruity and sweet. Avoid the ones that have black or soft patches on the skin.

    Try to choose the mango variety with fewer fibers. My favorite ones to make the juice are Ataulfo, Champagne, and Indian ones like Alphonso mangoes and Kesar mangoes.

    You can find Indian mangoes in Indian grocery stores during summer.

    If mangoes are not in season, use frozen mangoes or canned mango pulp (puree) instead. You can make mango pulp at home in summer when mangoes are in season and use it throughout the year to make this juice.

    To reduce the heating qualities of mangoes, soak them in water in a bowl or pan for a couple of hours before using.

    Water – Water is added to thin down the juice. You can also replace water with coconut water or orange juice to make the juice a little more nutritious. Adding tender coconut water or orange juice also helps to neutralize the heating properties of mangoes.

    The addition of orange juice or coconut water will not alter the taste too, so add them without any doubt.

    Sugar – If you feel the mangoes are not sweet enough, then add a little sugar, honey (not vegan), or any other preferred sweetener while blending.

    Variations – To jazz up the juice, you can add more ingredients such as fresh mint leaves, basil leaves, fresh ginger, black salt, freshly squeezed lemon juice, etc.

    Adding soaked chia seeds to the mango juice is also a good idea, as it helps cool down your body.

    You can also add a pinch of citric acid or freshly squeezed lime juice to make the juice a little tangy.

    Health Benefits Of Mangoes

    Mango is called the “King of Fruits”, due to its exceptional taste and nutrition properties. A rich source of vitamins A, C, Iron, Beta Carotene, Potassium, and Dietary Fibre, this seasonal fruit has a lot of health benefits that are really good for the overall growth of our body. Some of them are:

    • It has anti-inflammatory properties, which help you in fighting infections and also treat anemia.
    • Mango Juice is very beneficial when it comes to strengthening your bones, maintaining blood pressure levels, and controlling your cholesterol.

    How To Make Mango Juice

    Preparation

    Soak 2 large mangoes in water for 1 hour.

    Peel the mangos using a sharp paring knife. Cut the flesh away from the pit. Discard the pit and chop the flesh into small pieces.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can we use other fruits along with mangoes to make mango juice?

    To make this mango nectar juice even more nourishing, you can use other fruits like oranges, pineapple, kiwi, passion fruits, watermelon, etc along with mangoes.

    Why should you soak mangoes in water before eating them?

    There is a long-standing Indian tradition of soaking mangoes in water before consuming them. One of the main benefits of soaking mangoes is that it can help remove anti-nutrients like phytic acid. Anti-nutrients in the mango can interfere with the absorption of important nutrients like iron and calcium. Soaking the mangoes for 1-2 hours can help reduce the levels of these anti-nutrients, making the nutrients in the mango more available to the body.
    Phytic acid in mangoes also produces heat in the body. Once it is eliminated after soaking, the heating properties of mangoes are also taken care of. This, in turn, takes care of the acne, rashes, stomach upset, etc that appear after you consume mangoes.
    Soaking mangoes can also help remove any pesticides that may be present on the skin.

    Storage Suggestions

    This refreshing mango juice tastes best when made fresh. If kept for longer, it tends to lose its freshness and the taste also changes a little bit.

    However, if you still have leftovers, then store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
